Attic Bases

Arttic Bases


Considered by many to be the most elaborate base, the Attic base is a geometrical and aesthetic masterpiece. Beginning with a square plinth that is then topped by a graceful torus, a scotia is created above the two details. Above the scotia is yet another torus with fillets creating a distinction between all levels except that of the juncture of the lower torus and the plinth.

The Attic base is available in several sizes to meet your design needs. You can use columns with this base style throughout your home or building as the classicists and ancients did. Our Attic base’s are manufactured from the material Fiberglass-Reinforced Polymer or FRP. This material makes an Attic base that is not only strong, but durable. This type of base will not rot because it is inherently water resistant as well as it is impervious to insect infestation creating a virtually maintenance free detail. When you are selecting your columns, do not take the column bases for granted. An Attic base might be the right design for home or building project.
